OTIS W. BRUNER, OF onIoApo, ILLINOIS, Assicnoaflro ROBERT J. GUNNING, OF CHICAGO, I I ILLINOIS.

cago, Cook county, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Im i'ovementsin Baking-Pans and the Like, 0 which the following is a specification. v

My-invention relates .to baking utensils such as baking pans, and the object thereof is to produce, as anew article of manufacture, a; novel and efficient pan made from fibrous material as a substitute forthe usual tin or metal baking pan and-while my invention is more particularly applicable to pie ans and 'has specialutility in the baking,

"andling and shipment of pies, yet my invention, in its broader aspect is not limited thereto. c

The principal object of my invention is to produce or provide such a charactefof pie plate made of inexpensive material such as paper board or wood veneer which is not only capable of serving as a baking pan in which.

the pie may be baked but also as a plate forsuch pie in which the pie is contained fr m the baking. operation to the time that it reaches the consumer.

A further object of my invention is to provide suclja character of pan as will retain all the juicesw'and moisture and which furthermore be cleanly and sanitary in every respect. v

Impractice, I prefer to employ wood ve user as the material of the pan, the same being suitably shaped in a die to correspond with the usual and conventional size and% ,2. As a new article of manufacture, a

shape of pie plate or the like". To this wood veneer pan is' ap lied silicate of soda'oi so called liquid glass or if desired suchpan may be dipped into a bath of such solution so as to become impregnated therewith. This an after drying is now ready for'use, the sili cate of soda serving tdprevent the burning or charring of the pan and also preventing the penetration of the juices or .moisturetherethrough. Furthermore the nature 'of the solution employed has no deleterious effect upon the p c but whatever efiectthere may e is rather of a beneficial nature. Thus no metal plates at all are used in-the baking but the pies are baked in these specially prepared fibrous plates, treated as Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed June 20, 1906. Serial No. 322,560. x

above described, and are delivered in the same plates in which'they are baked. J

In practice I prefer to seal each individual pie together with its plate in waxed pa er or the like which is carefully wrapped t erearound so as to insure freedom from uncleanliness by exposure or handling and prevent absorption of moisture and so forth and at the same time to preserve the paraflin or freshness, cleanliness and the proper flavor so greatly desired.

Although I prefer. to emplof wood veneer asthe materia of the pan it is possible to use cate of soda in the manner already explained; The invention is illustrated in a more or less diagrammatic manner in the accompanying drawing'in which Figure 1 is a plan view of a conventional form 'of fibrous or wooden pie-plate and Fig.

2' a section of aportion thereof on an enlar ed scale.

V n the drawing, the plate A is made of .fibrous material such as wood and the drawso'indicates by the legend Fibrous mateapaper-board treated to the solution of sili in 'ria l and inasmuch as, by preference, the

, plate isimpregnated with silicate of soda, the drawing ,sm indicates by the second legend v .Impregnatedwith silicate ofsod'a.

1. Ab. a new article of manufacture, a combined baking-pie pan and pie plate com-. posed of a fibrous material to whlch silicate of soda hasbeen ap lied, said article serving I as a panin which t e pieis baked and as a platein which thepie is served.

combined baking'p'ie pa-nand pie .plate composed of a fibrous material impregnated with- "impregnated with silicate of soda and-serv ing both as the baking pan and as the pan for thereafter containing the article in the subsequent handling and sellin' thereof.
